To'all whom it may concern."

Be itknown that I, HENRY W. LONG- FELLOW, Jr. a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at' ston, in the county of: Suffolk and State. ofMassachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inMagazine-Graphophones, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to record magazines for graphophones whichareadapted 'to be 'used in connection with existing machines and amongmy objects are the production of.

such magazines cheaply, substantially, and with a freedom fromcomplications. To pro- 1 vide-means' whereby the person operating themachine may select the "record desired, place the same on the mandrel,play it and transfer it to the magazine and to provide means whereby themagazine is 1 automatically I locked in position to permit the freepassa e of the records to the mandrel. I accomplis these objects in themanner illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which Figure 1 is ageneralview, partly in section,

ofthe magazine-attached toa' graphophone Fig. 2 a like view of themagazine; and'Fig.

:3 a fragmentary view showing the outer face of the magazine. f.

The graphophone may be of any suitable (pe and is provided with a singlemandrel 1.

A j acent to the end of the mandrel is a guide 2 in the form of asleeve, flared at theend as shown. This guide is located in position toaline with the mandrel and is of. s'uificient A magazine 3, refers. lyin the form of a drum, is revolub y mounted on a shaft 3. This magazinehas a plurality of pockets, 5,

6, 7, 8, 9, 10,11 and 12; located equidistant from the shaft and eachcapable ofalining with the guide 2. i

."Each record 5', 6', 7, etc. has a carrier 14 secured to it "at the endand a ushrod 15 is secured to the carrier, prefera 1y by a universaljoint thereon which extends through an aperture 16 in the end'of thedrum. v

A series of numerals on the face ofthe drum serves with the-aid ofapointerv 17, to locate each recordpocket.) A ratchet stop '1 lock s.each pocket-opposite the guide 2. f

'Inuse the magazine pockets are filled with records, each record'havingits own carrier and ushrod secured thereto; .The'drumli, revo ved untilthe desired record, as indicated "155 by the numerahis opposite theguide, the

push rod attached'to that. record is then back into it's magazinepocket.

assage of a record.

comprising lifted and pushed in, thereby transferring the record fromthe magazine pocket through I the guide tube onto the machine mandrelwhere it is played in the usual manner. The free end of the-push rodlies in the hole in the end of the drum during the reproduction. Afterthe record is reproduced the push rod is pulled out carrying the recordoil the mandrel, through the flared-mouth guide and It is ap arent thatthe magazine cannot be revo ved during reproduction because the push rodis then connected to .both machine and magazine.

I am aware that -graphophones having a plurality of mandrels, eachcarrying a record, are old and do not claim such structures.

I claim '1. The combination of a gra hophone having a single mandrel; amagazme adapted tocontain a plurality of records; a longitudinallyextended, cylindrical guideway pro '5' jecting from the frame andalining with said mandrel and .magazine; and means for [ing 'a singlemandrel; a pockete magazine revolubly mounted adjacent to/Lthe mandrel;and a guide alining with the pockets and the mandrel.

4. In a record magazine for graphophones; a plurality of pockets, eachadapted to .con-

tain a're'cord, a carrier adapted to be secured to each of the records;and a push-rod attached to each carrier.

p 5. A record magazine for graphophones comprising a revoluble drum,pockets therein each of which is adaptedto containa recordga carrieradapted to be secured to eachoffsaid records; a push rod; and auniversal joint connecting. the push rod and '6.".,A' record magazineforgraphophones arevoluble drum; poo etsvtherein je'ach 0 which isadated to contain a record; a carrier adapte to be secured to eachrecord end extending through an eperholding said drum against movementduring ture in the drum to a point without; and the reciprocation. 10means for reciprocating said carriers.
